ABSTRACT:
A housing adapted to a connector position assurance system is incorporated in an electrical connector assembly. A first electrical connector includes a housing having a latch portion and an activating portion. A second electrical connector is mateable with the first connector and includes said housing having a latching member movable into engagement with the latch portion of the first connector when the connectors are mated. A connector position assurance device (CPA) is mounted on the latching member for movement relative thereto between an initial inactive position and a final indicating position to indicate that the connectors are mated. Complementary interengaging stops are provided between the CPA and the latching member to prevent the CPA from moving from its initial position to its final position when the connectors are not mated.
